D cembre 1920. Le banquier et collectionneur brugeois mile Renders ach te dans une vente publique un tableau en tr s mauvais tat. Il s'agit de la copie d'un des joyaux du Louvre : la fameuse Madeleine du Triptyque Braque de Rogier van der Weyden. Six ans plus tard, lorsqu'elle refait surface, la cro te est myst rieusement devenue un superbe tableau de ma tre, attribu l'entourage de Hans Memling. Comment expliquer cette trange m tamorphose ? Ce livre d monte la strat gie mise au point par Renders pour se constituer, en un temps record, la plus belle collection belge de Primitifs flamands de l'entre-deux-guerres. Il d voile comment le banquier s'associa un homme de l'ombre, le restaurateur Jef Van der Veken, pour remettre en tat des tableaux anciens de faible valeur qu'il d nichait dans de petites collections priv es belges. Il montre enfin comment l'incomparable savoir-faire technique de Van der Veken, alli au g nie financier de Renders, allait conduire l'une des plus magistrales supercheries artistiques du vingti me si cle. Un pi ge dans lequel tomba l'un des principaux dirigeants nazis, Hermann Goering, satrape aveugl par sa m galomanie, qui acquit la collection Renders en bloc et au prix fort. Sans le travail interdisciplinaire d'historiens, d'historiens d'art, de restaurateurs, et l'apport essentiel des laboratoires, cet incroyable jeu de dupes n'aurait pu tre d masqu . Un catalogue raisonn de l'?uvre de Jef Van der Veken est galement publi ici pour la toute premi re fois... plus de 300 tableaux retouch s, restaur s, voire enti rement peints de sa main.

Italian Drawings from the Sixteenth Century,2 VOL
Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Hardback, XXXIV 628 p., 572 b/w ill. 17 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm. 2 VOLUMES FINE COPY ISBN 9781905375103.
Paintings, sculpture, and classical antiquities are the most valuable resources of any museum, and are the first objects to be published in each museum''s own collection catalogue or online inventory. Collection catalogues, however, have customarily included only a small sample of the riches to be found in Midwestern collections of master drawings. This volume of sixteenth-century drawings has been largely the work of Burton L. Dunbar (University of Missouri-Kansas City), director of the project and a specialist in the arts of northern Europe, and Edward J. Olszewski (Case Western Reserve University), co-editor for the series, a well-known authority on drawings of the Italian Renaissance. This volume covers the sixteenth century, including artists born as a rule between 1480 and 1580, with the exception of Giovanni Baglione (ca. 1573-1644) and the Carracci. This study represents a gathering of drawings from forty institutions between Ohio and Oklahoma based on a census of seventy-five museums and art centers. Jacob Burckhardt?s contention that the Renaissance was, in many respects, an age of paganism is readily belied here by the 471 Italian drawings, the great majority of which are religious subjects. Antiquity provided a veneer beneath which sixteenth century artists could cloak their Christianity to make it seem fresh, reminding believers of the origins of their faith, and reviving the purity of Christian doctrine in its early years. It is no surprise, then, to find numerous drawings of antiquities, and mythologies among the many subjects. A corpus this large can be representative in many ways, offering a cross-section of media, subjects, drawing types, and collectors. Of the 471 Italian drawings scattered across Midwestern America, here we reassemble many that were at one time in one or more prominent collections. Every drawing was examined for the following information: Artist, place of birth and death with dates, biography, title of drawing, date of drawing, dimensions in mm (and in inches), media, institutional credit line, accession number, technical condition, inscriptions, collectors? marks, watermark, provenance, exhibitions, bibliography, comments.

Hercules to Olympus Part XI, 2: Mythological Subjects Hercules to Olympus / 2 volumes.
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 hardcover with dusjacket, 2 vols, 946 pages.Size:175 x 260 mm Illustrations:450 b/w. Language(s):English. ISBN 9781912554867.
One remarkable feature of European culture as it developed in the Renaissance was the accommodation it made with ancient paganism. The classical gods and their legends were allegorised, transformed into symbolic figures or emblematic scenes that might accord with Christian morality. At the same time a secular space was created in art for the depiction of the most popular myths, above all the love stories recounted by the ancient poets. These stories were not only attractive in themselves; they offered the opportunity to depict nude figures in narrative action, which the example of antiquity held forth as the highest goal for painting. Rubens was one of the greatest creators of classical allegory; he was also a supreme interpreter of the classical stories. No painter was so at home in the literature of the Greeks and Romans. When he painted for pleasure, which, increasingly in the course of his life, he felt able to do, he used pagan myth to express and celebrate themes of love, beauty and the creative forces of nature, often in wonderfully idiosyncratic ways. At the same time, as a Christian committed to the ideals of the Catholic Reformation, Rubens respected the restrictions generally placed on the depiction of pagan tales. Most of his mythological paintings were made for private settings, for display within houses (including his own) or in the galleries of princes, noblemen and prelates. It is happy accident of history that these splendid paintings are now widely visible in the great museums of the world.
Thinking through Rubens Selected Studies by Arnout Balis.
, Brepols, 2024 Hardcover, Pages: 220 pages,90 x 255mm,Illustrations:18 b/w, 88 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9781915487285.
Over the course of his life, Arnout Balis (d. 2021) did a lot of thinking about and around Rubens. A principal beneficiary of this was the Corpus Rubenianum, that multi-volume catalogue of the work of the artist to which he devoted so much of his scholarly endeavour ? as author, and, still more, as the most generous of editors. But he also produced wide-ranging, as well as more closely detailed, studies on the artist that were written for a variety of contexts. Arnout Balis was an artist before he was an art historian, and the question of how Rubens channelled his ideas into visual form constantly attracted and intrigued him. He was fascinated, too, by the practicalities of the artist?s method of production, given the enormous output of Rubens?s studio. Not only did he rigorously assemble and analyse every scrap of information about pupils or associates of the master, but he made himself an expert in the work of each of Rubens?s artistic contemporaries. In all his investigations, whether involving the attribution of a painting, an iconographic puzzle or the solution to a historical problem, he took nothing for granted, treating any received idea or initial intuition with due scepticism until it could be shown to stand the test of the evidence, documentary and visual. The present volume shows the Balis method in action. It includes several studies already acclaimed as exemplary, and others which deserve to be more widely known. Five of them are made available here for the first time in English translation.

Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens, who was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit, worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. For Ruben's age, as for the ancient Romans, history was valued for the lessons it taught. Rubens was deeply interested in history, particularly the works of the ancient writers like Ovid, Plutarch and Juvenal, which were full of exemplary figures. Yet unlike many Renaissance artists who merely sought texts they could illustrate, Rubens was familiar enough with classical writings to interpret them with originally and wit - always with an eye for the visually striking aspect. He was thus uniquely qualified to respond to the requirements of particular commissions with exemplary themes like The Continence of Scipio, The Justice of Cambyses, The Devotion of Artemisia and The Courage of Cloelia. Elizabeth McGrath recreates the context in which Rubens worked and casts new light on rarely discussed and misidentified subjects. Also included is a detailed analysis of the tapestry cartoons on the life of Romulus, now in the National Museum of Wales, relating the series to all relevant studies, paintings and tapestries.

The extraordinary cloister of Santo Domingo de Silos is central to our understanding of medieval sculpture, and of Spain's place in its development. Elizabeth Valdez del Alamo offers an innovative reading of the monastery's medieval sculpture and the first complete study in English. Her carefully documented work revises many traditional theories about the site built during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Rather than expressing resistance to religious reform, as commonly held for the renowned Emmaus and Thomas reliefs of the first campaign, they embrace the newly imposed Roman rite. The sirens, dragons, lions, and birds of the capitals are shown to have significance beyond mere decoration. The inventive images of the second campaign, an Annunciation-Coronation and a Trinity set into the Tree of Jesse, derive specifically from monastic devotion, colored by local concerns such as the Reconquest.

Jan de Beer, Gothic Renewal in Renaissance Antwerp. The first published monograph on the Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527 /28), with an oeuvre catalogue
, BREPOLS, 2016 Hardcover with dusjacket VI+385 pages., 62 b/w ill. + 203 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm Illustrated.Languages: English, Middle Dutch. ISBN 9782503555317.
The first published monograph on the Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527 /28), with an oeuvre catalogue The Antwerp painter Jan de Beer (c.1475-1527/28) was highly esteemed in his lifetime and still famous forty years after his death, but then fell into oblivion until the early twentieth century. This monograph is the first published, comprehensive study of his art and career. Its biography is the result of a thorough search of the archives and includes a recently discovered teaching contract with Lieven van Male of Ghent. All documents are fully transcribed, including documents for the artist's painter-son, Aert de Beer (c.1508-1538/40). Results from technical studies of the artist's work, including underdrawings and dendrochronological dating, are incorporated throughout the book. The artist's surviving oeuvre consists of forty works, mainly devotional paintings and triptychs but also a dozen drawings and a stained glass window in Antwerp Cathedral after a lost design. De Beer's stylish, elegant art exerted a powerful appeal upon the buying public, churches abroad, and copyists. His lost Adoration of the Magi was the best-selling painting design in Antwerp at the time. De Beer is further important as one of only two Antwerp artists of his generation for whom a significant body of drawings exists. The catalogue of paintings and drawings by the artist and his workshop, including the numerous copies and variants, comes to over 170 works. De Beer's art is typically associated with the work of the Antwerp Mannerists, a prominent group of painters active in the city during his lifetime. This study argues that De Beer's work, plus that of the Mannerists and the city's retable carvers, should be understood as a novel, modern expression of late Gothic art, a sixteenth-century renewal of the Gothic mode that was also manifested in contemporary architecture, calligraphy, music and poetry. Dan Ewing (1949) completed his dissertation on Jan de Beer at the University of Michigan in 1978. He is Professor of Art History at Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida, and has published on De Beer, Jan van Eyck, and Michelangelo. In 1990 his archival study of the Antwerp Cathedral account books for the Pand art market, 1460-1560, was published in The Art Bulletin. In 2005 he was a contributing author for the Antwerp exhibition, ExtravagAnt! A Forgotten Chapter of Antwerp Art, 1500-1530. He contributed to the 2007 Patinir exhibition in Madrid and the 2011 Joos van Cleve exhibition in Aachen. Among his many research grants are an award from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and two awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Schilderijen uit Siena, ars narrandi in de Europese gotiek.
, Silvana - Koninklijke Musea voor Schone Kunsten van Belgie , 2015 Hardback, 280x230mm, 272 pages , 100 bw and col. illustrations. Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 9788836628995.
Siena, een stad met een grote schilderstraditie. In samenwerking met de prestigieuze Pinacoteca di Siena en het Franse Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen worden in het Paleis voor Schone Kunsten een tachtigtal bijzonder verfijnde meesterwerken getoond die maar zelden hun thuishaven verlaten. Ze getuigen van de revolutionaire kunst die tussen het eind van de 13e en het eind van de 15e eeuw beoefend werd door o.a. de gebroeders Lorenzetti, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini en Sano di Pietro, die vernieuwden door perspectief in hun schilderijen te introduceren, het landschap als achtergrond in te voeren en een innoverend kleurenpalet te gebruiken. Buiten Siena fascineerde hun kunst ook de andere centra in Italie, om uiteindelijk op heel Europa haar stempel te drukken. De evolutie van de figuratieve schilderkunst kende in Siena een heel eigen verloop: van de starre laat-Byzantijnse iconografie naar meer klassieke, verhalende kunstwerken. Deze wereld vol schatten was in het verleden enkel toegankelijk voor een heel select publiek.
Sky is the Limit. Het landschap in de Nederlanden.
, Museum Rockoxhuis / KMSKA, 2017 Gebonden, Hardcover, 155 pagina's met prachtige illustraties in kleur.
The Sky is the Limit. Het landschap in de Nederlanden. Deze expo presenteert de beste 16e en 17e-eeuwse landschappen uit de collecties van het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen (KMSKA) en het Museum Rockoxhuis. De Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister van Dresden geeft uitzonderlijk 20 werken in bruikleen. Na de succesvolle stillevententoonstelling rond kunstenares Clara Peeters vorig jaar focust Het Gulden Cabinet in het Museum Rockoxhuis dit voorjaar op 16de- en 17de-eeuwse landschappen. The Sky is the Limit brengt topwerken van het genre samen van kunstenaars als Joachim Patinir, Pieter Bruegel I, Joos de Momper II, Jan Brueghel I, Paul Bril, Roelant Savery en Salomon van Ruysdael. In totaal gaat het om zo'n veertig schilderijen en tekeningen uit de twee Antwerpse collecties, en ruim 20 werken uit Dresden. Als hedendaags contrapunt wordt de intrigerende video Travel van David Claerbout getoond. The Sky is the Limit toont hoe landschappen tijdens de 16de en 17de eeuw de kunstmarkt veroveren. Het genre ontstaat pas in de 16de eeuw: aanvankelijk schilderen kunstenaars landschappen als achtergrond voor Bijbelse of mythologische taferelen. Joachim Patinir (1475/80 - 1515/24) wordt beschouwd al de vader van het genre. In de tentoonstelling hangt het unieke Landschap met de vlucht naar Egypte: een postkaart avant la lettre (1516/17). Albrecht Durer noemt Patinir ?der gut landschaft maler'. Het is de eerste vermelding van het woord ?landschap' in de Duitse taal. De heilige familie vlucht in een fictief landschap, dat grillige rotsen uit het Maasland verenigt met schilderachtige Vlaamse boerderijen en met een mistige Italiaanse kustlijn. Typisch voor deze vroege panoramalandschappen uit 1540-1550 zijn het vogelperspectief en het gebruik van coulissen in achtereenvolgens bruine, groene en blauwe tinten om diepte te creeren. De expo toont ook uitzonderlijk Landschap met pelgrims van Pieter Bruegel I (ca. 1525-1569). Deze pentekening op papier is zeer fragiel en mag maar zelden tentoongesteld worden. Ondanks de kwetsbare staat is het een van de belangrijkste landschapstekeningen van Bruegel. Pieter Bruegel I is ongetwijfeld de meest volledige landschapsschilder van zijn tijd. Hij brengt vernieuwing in de traditie die sinds Patinir quasi ongewijzigd was gebleven. Hij tekent en schildert de natuur op een meer natuurlijke wijze. In zijn werken brengt hij met oog voor detail natuurelementen zoals rotsen, bossen en water samen tot een organisch tafereel. Bruegel verbleef tussen 1552 en 1554 in Italie, maar vooral de Alpen bleven hem bij. Van deze reis zijn ongeveer 30 tekeningen met landschapsmotieven bewaard. Landschap met pelgrims is een ontwerp voor een prent die rond 1555 bij de Antwerpse uitgever Hieronymus Cock werd gepubliceerd. In tegenstelling tot de duurdere schilderijen vonden prenten een afzetmarkt bij een ruimer publiek, zodat het genre meer bekendheid kreeg. Stedelingen waren zonder twijfel geinteresseerd in de mooie berggezichten die ze zelf nooit hadden gezien.

By the time of its completion in 1621, the former Jesuit church in Antwerp was one of the most brilliant achievements in the Southern Netherlands, particularly due to the ceiling paintings after Rubens? designs and his two altarpieces. Nevertheless, from the seventeenth century to the present day, the precise extent of Rubens? involvement in the architecture and the architectural sculpture of the church has been a point of discussion. Rubens was in close contact with the Jesuit Francois de Aguilon, designer of the ground plan of the Antwerp Jesuit church, and with lay brother Pieter Huyssens who made most of the drawings for the church. Known to be by Rubens? hand are a limited number of drawings and a sketch in oil for architectural ornaments and sculptures that relate both to the exterior and to the interior of the structure. Despite its numerous restorations, the iconographic scheme of the church is even today visibly influenced by Rubens? jaunty visual language which goes back to examples of ancient antiquity and its Christian interpretations in early Baroque churches in Rome. Some of the church?s decorative designs were also modelled after works by contemporary Italian artists such as Cherubino Alberti. In this critical catalogue, the design drawings and oil sketches attributed to Rubens, a number of which later served as models for religious as well as profane architectural decoration, including that of Cardinal-Infant Ferdinand's Pompa Introitus in 1635, are extensively discussed.
